La Cage Aux Folles

Summary of Production

A wonderful production experience at Cygnet theater postponed indefinitely due to Covid-19 after the first preview. For the process I created a system that managed 15 wireless mics across fourteen actors as well as 10 instrument mics capturing a live band. For improved control, I implemented a program called X32TC to send OSC commands to an X32 console. This gave the mixer ability to program board snapshots giving him the ability to mix the show in the style of a broadway musical.

"After twenty years of un-wedded bliss Georges and Albin, two men partnered for better-or-worse get a bit of both when Georges’ son (fathered during a one-night fling) announces his impending marriage to the daughter of a bigoted, right-wing politician. Further complicating the situation is the ‘family business’: Albin and Georges run a drag nightclub in St. Tropez, where Albin is the “star” performer Zaza. Georges reluctantly agrees to masquerade as “normal” when he meets the family of the bride-to-be. But Albin has other plans, with hilarious results." Cygnet Promotional Material
